I felt this before Now I feel it again No matter how hard I try This feeling won't end So I pretend you're here by my side Tonight on this lonely ride I keep telling myself that [Chorus] Life goes on while you're miles away And I need you Time goes on as night steals the day There's nothing I can do You heal up my wounds I tasted your tears You spilled out your heart So I let out my fears But one fear that I kept to myself Was how I prayed that you'd love no one else Like you're saying you love me [Chorus] If you only knew how much I miss you When my mind plays these tricks on me It shows me things I don't want to see That's why I tell myself I keep telling myself Just take another piece of me [Chorus] And this last mile I travel with you
